Lectio Reflection 12/11/13

Verse
Every person who believes that Jesus is, in fact, the Messiah, is God-begotten. If we love the One who conceives the child, we’ll surely love the child who was conceived. The reality test on whether or not we love God’s children is this: Do we love God? Do we keep his commands? The proof that we love God comes when we keep his commandments and they are not at all troublesome. (1 John 5:1-3 MSG)

My Word or Phrase
His commands re not burdensome

My Image
The holiday season when I bad pies and prepare big meals. This is not a burden because I enjoy showing hospitality in this way. I enjoy seeing people enjoying my gift to them. This is not burdensome to me.

My Invitation
Think about ways that I can love other’s in practical ways on a more regular basis.
